RE: You can choose the reward type for comments now on steemit.com and you can upvote your own comment with a checkbox
I have already said that the control system is not good. My proposal would be to prevent the author from voting for his post. I have seen many times that someone who has voting power puts a photo and gets 2 or 3 dollars in a vote. All this is repeated several times during the day.
Stopping people from voting for their own posts will not stop people with steem power to give money to themselves if they wanted to. They would just need a second account to post from and they would upvote that instead of their own. So allowing people to vote for themselves if they wanted to actually keeps things more transparent without really exacerbating the problem significantly.
